Recently as winter is becoming harsher as days go by in Seoul I was worried about the condition of my health particularly my feet. My feet stands at 265cm, so it is kinda hard to shop around for winter boots as on average the shoes size sold are normally up to 250cm. It took me quite a while before settling for one average looking winter boots which fits my size but not my preference T_T.

Min Young did help me to find winter shoes on the internet via Naver but I rejected the idea as I’m too lazy to return the winter boots if the size doesn’t fit or I don’t get it as on screen. Things like that do happen while you do internet shopping and it gets on my nerve sometimes. But, if you still insist to buy online and your situation is as typical as mine ^^ by all means run this keyword “큰 부츠” it means big size boots.

The links inside the red box sell big size winter boots.

I bought this black winter boots unintentionally while checking on Pizza Plus Halal restaurant in Dongdaemun area. Actually I have been to this area a few times before back in 2009 and 2010 but I didn’t realize it until I saw stacks of shoes sold beside the road! Ahaa..and now I must buy the shoes!

Hi, I'm heading to Seoul this winter and would like to buy boots there.I wear size 41/42 (depending on the cutting) shoes.Is there any shops that you can recommend that sells large size boots?Thank you!
